Xamp3K
A LED on the front panel indicates the action of the anti-clipping limiter of each
channel. If the clip LED is lit intermittently, this may be interpreted as correct, but it
means that the amplifier is reaching its maximum power at this point.

WARNING: Make sure the LED LIMITER is not alight permanently!
No extra power is obtained in this way, losing dynamics and sound
quality.
5.3 Limiter adjustment
The amplifiers Xamp3K feature a limiter adjustment, in which the user, with an easy
adjust, can limit the output power of each output independently. Along with the DSP
input level controls and/or an external limiter, the use of this adjustment can be very
useful to protect the system in case of connection errors in XLR input or outputs
It is an easy access adjustment and it is located behind the front panel. The front
panel is fixed with two M4 screws with knurled head that can be loosen with the
fingertips. After removing the front panel you will find two LIMITER sections, one per
channel, they can be adjusted with a small flat-tip screwdriver.

The factory setting for this parameter is set to fully clockwise; this way the device
delivers its maximum power with minimum distortion thanks to its anti-clipping
system.
Each channel has an independent limiter adjustment; see the attached table of the
delivered output depending of the limiter adjustment:
